Hallvarðr Stormbrow's page

Waiting on GM on both of his games. He's normally very diligent so I assume he's got a few issues he needs to sort out

Only for combat is 1 a fail unless there are house rules

I guess I'm just a mean DM then cause I definitely do that in my games XD

:D

Yup advantage & disadvantage cancel out so it'd be just one straight roll! I think a 1 counts as an automatically fail though so still try not to roll one of those XP

Only for combat is 1 a fail unless there are house rules

If I have advantage then it would, I hope cancel disadvantage... my base stealth is +4. With pass without trace my minimum result would be 15 even with the dreaded "1".

The Viking watches Kokam carefully and copies her, also rubbing himself against the walls to smear himself with the local scents.

Wis: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (17) + 0 = 17

Hallvardr climbed down next... the overall effect of the blood and organic texture of the walls didn't phase him much, in fact he seemed content and grounded within this environment, like a wolf or a hound on the trail of his prey.

Hallvardr watches the hole ready to jump into action in case Roscoe needs him, concerned for the little priest.

Roscoe looked up with dull sarcasm, "Oh good a demon queen monster hunt. . . .We were resting on our laurels too much."

"Well lets jump into demon tunnels again." He explains to more recent allies, "Its how we met."

Hallvardr also laughed uproariously. Well spoken! Indeed Gorum would not want us to grow old and fat, he said wiping his face and straightening his beard. Down we go... it will be just like home.

Arcana +0 or Religion +2: 1d20 ⇒ 1

All wisdom escapes me in the face of this blight... lots of fire maybe? Or is there a more round about route?

"Even if stock it and send troops. . . won't it just be a target. I mean its isolated far from areas held. Which by the most secure area was just sacked." He looks up, "Ahhh I am coming in to hot aren't I."

Too hot?, says the Northman absent mindedly as he continues to search for the promised trove.

The Viking gladly helped drag dead enemies to the pure but then spent time giving the temple a final search for the earlier mentioned healing supplies, trying to dragoon the halfling and any paladins he could get a hold of for assistance.

Gorum be praised! A fine shot straight from Desna's right hand! And a suitably gruesome death blow... well done!.

He seems very pleased in the aftermath of the battle. It seems a suitable manifestation of divine retribution and a vindication of his decision to wipe these scum from the face of the earth.

Hallvardr amused himself in hunting down and cornering one of the two remaining ghouls, savagely cutting it to pieces.

AWESOME!!!

GM, you forgot about the demon's DEX and Con saves from my earlier attack...

Oops, I forgot those too...

Gorum has work for you still Damon! Don't worry about bleeding - Fight!

Bonus action: Healing Word level 3@Damon: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 3, 1) + 3 = 9

He grits his teeth and stabs at the fell monster that seeks to end them!

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 or 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 (advantage)

Höfuðlausn: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Drink your fill Höfuðlausn, he grates as the sword slides into demonic flesh.

There is always next round mate... and guiding bolts HURT

@Kokam, you get 4 attacks when you use a Ki point! (2 normal attacks, 2 unarmed)

Yay... also do your strikes count as magic? Edit: Nope. Level 6. Stunning strike the prick?

Just keep up those 20's... this thing seems bloody dangerous... how much damage did you do?

Draw sword, move 2 squares south, then 2 squares to the left, flanking with Damon...

Höfuðlausn: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24 or1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
For 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

The Skald frowns as his magic appears not to gain a purchase on his foe but shrugs, draws the blackened blade and moves around to circle it. Damon's sword flared as Iomedae's light both seared and cut the darkling demon, opening a path for Höfuðlausn to make its own mark on its corrupted flesh... it bled as dark as it was.

I am assuming 10 feet for 1 sq movement through the bush south of Hal?

Foe is showing as Healthy... it still should still take 8 dmg on a passed save. That said, it could still be healthy... in which case? We're in for a HARD fight. Kokam, did you use that second bardic inspiration I gave you near the end of the last fight or is it still available?

The Ulfen stands next to his brother, shield ready but sword sheathed so he may have one hand ready to work seiðr.

He narrows his eyes and started a muttering hissing tirade, invoking the name of Gorum... and foreshadowing the fell creatures violent death.

Psychic: 4d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 1, 6) = 17

Hallvardr turned to Caydens diminutive priest and wiggled his fingers in a suggestive manner, like he was was manipulating something delicate, then looked back to the captive.

What does the bell mean woman?, he said. Dinner or a call to aid?

He wonders why this prisoner was special and held here to remain uneaten though... still maybe Gorum would bless him with more battle? He grinned fiercely at the prospect.

If we're lucky we may still have one good fight ahead yet!, he said to Kokam and Damon.

Hallvardr's nature hated to see the woman chained so but noted Damon's restraint and caution...

What is it Damon? Do you see something I don't?

Hallvardr is particularly pleased at the aftermath. At the beginning of their journey this would have been the death of them all. Now it was just a moderate challenge.

He stabs the dark sword into the chest of the half demon... why? He didn't know but it seemed... appropriate. Like letting it drink its fill.

This done he turned back to joining the Paladin in searching...

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

We'll still need to patrol for any stragglers mind you, he says while up ending furniture.

Constitution Save versus Ghoul Paralysis: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Constitution Save to maintain Concentration: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Höfuðlausn: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Hallvardr is able to fight off the pain that battered at his concentration of his magic, and clearly the slight wound was not invested with enough gloulish muck to affect him...

He drove his shield towards the ghoul in front of him and swung at the distracted foe. The sword bit deep into the ghouls side.

He yelled out to encouragement to Kokam even as the ghoul screamed in pain.

They are yours to dispatch at will Kokam! Gorum has delivered them into your hand!

Bonus Action: Bardic Inspiration Kokam

Without diagonal movement I can't move beyond this and only horizontal or vertical moves are permitted

Love the imagery

Yeeeeeeah... that should do it. Between helping Kokam to hit and you adding another 7 hps, I'm feeling pretty good :)

We're surrounded on all sides!, cried the Viking triumphantly with glee. They can’t get away from us now!”, inspiring the Paladin with his enthusiasm.

He launched a hard swing at the wingéd foe!

Use Inspiration
Höfuðlausn: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 or 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 for 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Höfuðlausn cut deep, the magical blade spilling dark ichor upon the stone floor.

Bonus action: Bardic inspiration to Damon. D8. Once within the next 10 minutes, the creature can roll the die and add the number rolled to one ability check, attack roll, damage roll or saving throw it makes, or add it to AC. The creature can wait until after it rolls the d20 before deciding to use the Bardic Inspiration die, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the Bardic Inspiration die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only one Bardic Inspiration die at a time.

Yay! You used the inspiration AND it worked. Bonus!

Youll take one AoO but that seems to be unavoidable. I'll move two squares directly forward so we form a shield wall. This leaves Kokam opportunities to become a Kung fu blender on the two near the door... I pity the poor bastards. Our spell slingers can lay down the magic. I'll bardically inspire Damon next round.

Bonus action: Shield of Faith (Now AC21)
Move into Room
Free action: Draw sword
Action: Curse that big ass demon (reskinned vicious mockery)

Well said! So let it be... Gorum! Bless Your servant!

As he beseeches aid a ghostly overlay of bulkier spiked armour appears over the Vikings frame. He draws Höfuðlausn with purpose, splattering the ground with a sprinkling of blood and points it at the demonic figure.

Við spadi Gørum! Liða Kamphundr!, he yelled levelling a bane upon his foe.

Vicious Mockery vs Wis DC14 or: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7 psychic damage and disadvantage on next attack...

Great Line... I'm envious :D What square are you in so I can work with you

Should have had an If at the start of that sentence

Gorums shrines are made of stones and weapons... doesn't really bother him, he says with a shrug. It was more about how profaned this place is though. Ignore it. I just want make sure the scum who corrupted this place are ended.

Desna didn't want this place I'd suggest a cleansing fire, uncharacteristically sickened by the restrains in the meal areas. I'm definitely in favour of making sure we exterminate everything in here. Let's keep searching... bastards must be hiding.

Sneak in and tell us what you see... And gods help anything that interrupts you. If you want to share, give us a call.

Don't forget Aron told us there may be a cache of healing supplies... though MAY is the word. Said they'd be typically stashed in a secret compartment under the altar.

The overgrown hyper violent children return from their play, Hallvardr laughing...

One got a away... it may have friends. Let's go hunt it and it's other corpse eaters down.

The building north of here is unexplored.

Cool

I knew there was a few reasons I like you ;)

He reared back and threw his spear at the creature...

Spear: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 for Dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

And gave a grunt of satisfaction as it struck the undead in the guts. It screamed but in what would have been a near mortal wound on a normal man, it merely wrenched at the spear shaft as it glared at Hallvardr with hungry hate filled eyes.

The Viking drew again the black iron blade and hammered it against the edge of his shield to infuriate the monster as he stepped next to Damon.

Come now and hurry to meet your god!.

He rounds the corner, sees it running to a dead end and smiles. He shoves the dull iron blade into his belt and readies his spear to throw.

Finish this carrion off at a distance friend Damon... ghouls can affect and infect the living.

Next round throw spear

"We still have the angelic partier's helping." He points to the dancing angels around him sloshing flagons and swords.

I love the mental picture of it. I can see one of the ethereal figures bashing a foe on top of its head with a flagon

The Ulfen warrior picks a door that one of the ghouls ran down and charges after it.

We're not done with you yet... don't run, you'll just die tired!

You CAN use the inspiration dice to add 1d8 to your save- that's why I gave it to you... that's my schtick. That said I'm not sure if my inspiration goes off first before the ghouls curse.

Cursing inwardly he decides the best way to help was slaughter the priest, risking an attack from a ghoul he hurried by it with a flick of his shield to help ward off a spring attack and launched himself at the priest...

[dice=Höfuðlausn]1d20 + 7
1d8 + 4

Trying mouthing spells with a gob full of iron you bastard, he says shoving his sword into the priests face.

As above

And do I use the attack roll from last round?

Round 2

[dice=WIS dc13]1d20+2
Kokam watched, eyes wide as her friend battled against the undead defilers. She strained against the unnatural feeling of motionlessness, until finally her will overcame the unclean magic and she staggered one step....two steps... free!

So it looks like the inspiration die was not used... use it well moving forward

Hi... are diagonal movements 5 or 10 ft? 5e is 5ft, PF uses 5/10/5... assuming 5e (Currently the PH says that moving diagonally on a grid costs 5' of movement, the same as moving vertically or horizontally)? It's a 2 sq. Diagonal to the west side of the map, move past the ghoul and table horizontally and vertically straight into the priest. Total 6 sq's. I have been using 5 ft diagonal movement since our first combat but maybe I missed something. If I'm wrong, no worries. I'll lock in diagonal movement as per PF

Touché

Our DM has been reasonable on retro given the nature of our game format

You CAN use the inspiration dice to add 1d8 ⇒ 8 to your save- that's why I gave it to you... that's my schtick. That said I'm not sure if my inspiration goes off first before the ghouls curse.

Cursing inwardly he decides the best way to help was slaughter the priest, risking an attack from a ghoul he hurried by it with a flick of his shield to help ward off a spring attack and launched himself at the priest...

Höfuðlausn: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
1d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

Trying mouthing spells with a gob full of iron you bastard, he says shoving his sword into the priests face.

Ill wait for Kokam a little for her turn 1 action as I want to charge down the priest in round 2
